Sing for Absolution By: ponzer
Six years have passed since Edward left. Now as a college graduate, and with a child, Bella works as a high school teacher in Rochester. What will Edward do when he and his family enroll in Westmore and Bella's scent undoes him? Bella is no longer the plain, blushing wallflower. How many rivals will he have to contend with? How far will he have to go to win her back?
~Look everyone... It’s ADF’s very own ponzer! You go, girl! Please be sure to drop by and read her fic and show some love!
The President, The Mansplainer, and the First Boyfriend By: shouldbecleaning
Companion piece to The President, The Stripper, and The Good Girl. Bella's presidential aims are thwarted by a twerp and a twit.
~A very humorous O/S
Tangled Up In The Mainline By: shellyduran
After losing her scholarship, Bella returns home to Block Island for the busy tourist season, hoping to raise enough money to pay her tuition. She had always listened to her father's warning about the transient fishermen that drift in and out of the port, until she saw a pair of intense green eyes watching her from under unruly bronze hair.
~I just started reading this today and - wow - it really pulls you in. I appreciate the knowledge and intellect behind the informative first few chapters and the drive and ambition of Bella’s character. Can’t wait to read more!
In a Heartbeat by heartfortwilight (this is on STARS Library - thanks trbuie for rec'ing on What the Fic?)
In a heartbeat, Edward's life changed. What was supposed to be the joyful, life-changing experience, the birth of their daughter, turned into a nightmare. The love of his life, lifeless on the delivery table, as he held his daughter in his arms. The gift of organ donation was always his wife's desire. Bella was in the critical care unit at John Hopkins, praying for a heart transplant. What happens when years later Edward moves back home to Baltimore and enrolls his daughter in a dance class? Will the beauty in pink tights capture his heart? But what happens when he learns her secret?
~The summary pretty much sets it up. So many characters are interconnected and they don’t even realize. This is a very heart-felt moving story that will keep you engaged. We can ‘see’ what’s going on and I’m full of anticipation of what will happen when they find out.
Devil With the Blue Dress On By: MissLiss15
In the era of tie dye and lava lamps, Bella is the epitome of the modern young woman. Though she exudes everything he hates, Edward is inexplicably drawn to her when he runs into her on a business trip. Just don't tell his high society fiancée.
~This is set in the 60s-70s when women were still expected to stay home, look beautiful, cook, clean and have babies. Bella doesn’t exactly fit into that cliché. Edward is not used to being told “no” and has no plans of backing down.
Love is Strange By: MarieCarro
Bella Swan and Edward Cullen live in the small town of Ligonier in Pennsylvania. They've been best friends since they were six years old, and not much can keep them apart. Bella wants to leave small-town life behind, while Edward is fine with whatever, but that's not the only complication in their relationship. Love is on the horizon.
~High school setting with what seems to be a familiar ‘can best friends become lovers’ coming of age story line. Edward is a sweetie!
The Siren's Curse By: aushapasha
A crime. A curse. A beautiful siren compelled to kill. Bella's bloodlust won't be slaked until she's slain the entire lineage of the men who wronged her. Including the last Cullen. AU, Canon Couples
~A surprize twist at the end...loved it.
The Road Trip by Honeymoon Edward
Bella is desperate to see her celebrity crush in person even if that means spending an entire week with her annoying co-worker, Edward Cullen.
~Cute epilogue.
Let It Snow By: Fyrebyrd
A "25 weekdays of Christmas" drabble gift to my readers! Well-endowed Edward and broken-hearted Bella
~In a cabin in the woods...the only way to get over one guy is to get under another, right? Especially if he shares his anaconda...Fabulous story!
Conversations Over Coffee By: cosmogirl7481
Conversations over coffee. Sometimes when you meet "the one," falling is easy – as simple as talking. Effortless. You just have to find the words.
~A short fluffy fic about quietly getting to know someone without fanfare or drama. A nice read with your cup of coffee… ; )
Midnight Desire By: Twilightzoner
An All Human parody of Midnight Sun. AH, AU and consequently OOC. No blood lust - just uncontrollable human lust. Smut filled fun . .
~ Rated MMMM!!! (this one is crazy and hilarious!)
Nature of Love By: drotuno
Hiking through the Appalachian Trail, Bella meets 2 brothers, 1 with a dark past. This is an adventure about friendships, love, loss and finding yourself. And just maybe finding more than you expected.
~Bella is a professional photographer, documenting travel destinations around the world to publish in her books. Returning early from her latest trip, she walked into her apartment to find her bf Mike enjoying the intimate company of another young lady! She was so done with him, with men, with relationships! She decided to start her next project a year early, which was to photograph the Appalachian Trail, a six-month back-packing trip up the eastern side of the U.S. All she needed was for the sob Mike to drop her and her dog Maggie off at the trailhead and she was out of there!
Star Crossed by tufano73
She was the leader of her people. He was a gruff, by-the-book star ship captain. An interstellar war, negotiations for a peace treaty gone wrong and a taboo relationship between two species. Will they survive this threat or are the Star Crossed lovers doomed before they even have a chance?
~I think this was the first story I read by tufano79 and absolutely loved this fantasy - Star Trekkie type setting with space travel and dealing with various species. There is romance, action and adventure.
Wow!
Review and let the writers know you found them here at ADF!
Thank you for your support and feedback and comments! They really mean a lot.
